Vodafone has chosen Germany-based Inter.link to provide automated, high-quality interconnectivity between its European networks and those of third-party Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content players, and other operators<\/strong><\/p>\n

The move will bolster Vodafone\u2019s existing wholesale business offering a broad range of connectivity and messaging services.
\nInter.link delivers automated, carrier-grade backbone infrastructure at speeds of 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) or 400 Gbps, connecting essential intersections across diverse networks within the broader Internet ecosystem. 1 Gbps typically supports around 1.5 million instant messages.<\/p>\n

Rapidly scale interconnection<\/strong>
\nVodafone will use Inter.link\u2019s automated service, which is available in multiple countries, including 30 points of presence in Germany, to more quickly and easily aggregate both mobile and fixed broadband traffic between itself and multiple third-party providers of all sizes.
\nBy utilising the Inter.link system, called FlexPeer, instead of traditional physical internet exchanges, third-party providers can efficiently scale capacity into Vodafone\u2019s fixed and mobile access networks as needed to serve their customers across Europe. They can connect multiple sites over a single \u2018Layer 2\u2019 data link, adjusting capacity to actual traffic without affecting the user experience.<\/p>\n

Initial launch in Germany<\/strong>
\nVodafone, in partnership with Inter.link, will launch the service in Germany next month, where Vodafone currently manages over 4,000 interconnections with other providers. The company plans to extend the service to additional countries in 2026.
\nThis model of interconnection has been developed to address the evolving complexities of a rapidly expanding, multi-tiered commercial internet environment. It enhances resilience and minimises operational overheads, while maintaining efficient Internet traffic flow between end users, their providers, and the services being accessed\u2014such as video streaming, messaging, or browsing social media applications.<\/p>\n

Reduce peering costs<\/strong>
\nTransitioning to an automated and flexible interconnection system will reduce time, resources, and peering costs (expenses for connecting different networks) for Vodafone and its wholesale customers. This approach is particularly beneficial for managing the numerous points that connect infrastructure to exchange internet traffic directly. It also puts less strain on the engineering team that plan where the traffic goes when volumes increase.<\/p>\n

Focus on customer service<\/strong>
\nBy integrating Inter.link\u2019s solution at the edge of Vodafone\u2019s networks, Vodafone can concentrate on delivering improved services to other mobile network operators and broadband providers, thereby enhancing its existing carrier services model. Inter.link\u2019s automation streamlines processes and expedites the customer journey by offering single sign-on access and one-click provisioning.
\nVodafone aims to migrate all traffic in Germany from existing Internet Exchange Points to the new system by the end of 2025. In addition to Europe, the two companies will enable third party providers connecting to Vodafone\u2019s wider global network infrastructure to also leverage Inter.link\u2019s automated platform for improved latency, resiliency and quality.<\/p>\n
